Features: The abundant material and cultural life in modern society can be overwhelming. Parents, in their efforts to help us "become outstanding individuals" in the future, constantly put pressure on us, making us feel that studying is burdensome, life is dull, spirits are tense, emotions are extreme, the sunshine is not bright, and the true love and friendship in the world are hypocritical. Since we are still young, we don't know how to handle many things, and when we act blindly, the results are indeed terrible. We wanted to get along well with classmates, but various unrealistic words and deeds led to strong opinions against us, and they gradually distanced themselves, treating us like strangers or even enemies. It's truly hard to understand! Considering that many students who are feeling troubled need comfort from peers, the author launched the "Red Scarf Hotline" in the Beijing Youth News in 2001, sending warmth through the airwaves to classmates in need of help and bringing back the joy of childhood.
